The DUO Bay Ruf Manic 135 is built on a completely unique concept designed to trigger strikes when conventional lures stop producing results. Its refined balance and distinctive “Manic Move” create ultra-tight micro-vibrations that effectively stimulate the lateral line of predatory fish, even in heavily pressured waters.
The slim 135 mm body is precisely weighted to produce a tight rolling action without wobbling or wide oscillation. This subtle movement generates a natural V-shaped wake just beneath the surface, making the lure highly effective for seabass and other coastal predators feeding in the upper water column.
The buoyancy, weight distribution and body volume have been delicately adjusted to achieve a pure rolling action only. Even at very slow retrieve speeds, the Manic 135 leaves a visible wake and emits fine pulsations that draw strikes from cautious fish.
The aerodynamic body shape and optimized hook eye placement improve flight stability and casting range. For a lure of this size, the Manic 135 offers impressive long-distance performance, allowing anglers to cover wide areas and reach distant feeding fish.
As soon as the retrieve begins, the lure works just below the surface, creating a controlled wake. The subtle rolling adds a gentle swell to the V-shaped trail, making it particularly effective in calm conditions and shallow coastal areas.
With twitches and sharper rod movements, the Manic 135 performs an irregular, baitfish-like action near the surface. By varying retrieve speed and rod input, anglers can generate S-curve movements and trigger reaction strikes.
The DUO Bay Ruf Manic 135 opens new possibilities for long-distance surface and subsurface fishing, combining subtle presentation with outstanding casting performance in challenging conditions.
